Me drawing and writing in my journal along the coast of England
Meeting each Saturday in March (5th, 12th, 19th, 26th) 10 am – 12 noon
Get Creative with Journaling! A class for all ages. We’ll combine sketching, painting and writing with experienced guidance from our instructor to create a journal of experiences and special days. Learn drawing skills, how to add decorative borders, creative designs and lettering to your journal. Learn creative writing tips; dabble in poetry writing and techniques for creating a very personal record. You’ll also be introduced to the use of watercolor pencils, watercolors, permanent ink pens, and water brushes to create images and illustrations to share. We’ll even make our own all media journal! Creative Journaling is becoming increasingly popular; it complements internet blogs or conventional diaries and provides a highly visual and descriptive book to treasure for years to come.
$75 for 4 classes, a $6 materials fee payable to the instructor the first day covers the cost of a journal and water brush.
•Following this class (after a lunch break) is “Nature Sketching”, a two-hour class that ties in beautifully with Creative Journaling. Sign up for both and save $5 on both classes!
•Sign up now for a second Creative Journaling class in April with another version of the journal, learn more ways to enhance it and make a feather pen and save $5 on each class!

Drawing a window and creative borders on my journal page in Alnwick, England
This looks like such a great class. I’ve done some creative journaling but lately I’ve been so unfocused and scattered.
Do you ever offer a class for 4 days in a row? I’d love to make the hike from Maryland to Seneca, NY for 4 Saturdays just for this class. Unfortunately, between the cost of gas and the need to actually be realistic in general, I don’t think it is an option. : (
My family gave me a Christmas gift that will be sending me to Italy for 10 days in the fall. Because of that gift I really would like to get in the habit and develop the skill of creative journaling. I know that I will be dying to bring my trip home with me and make collages from it.
Hi Susan,
I wish you lived closer also. Hey what a FANTASTIC Christmas present you lucky duck!!!! I would love to go to Italy someday, I put it in my mind to be planned someday. You need to get a sketch journal NOW and start getting into the habit, that’s all. What kind of journal do you use?, maybe I could advise you. I’ll be posting a lot more about “Creative Journaling” in the future, a little more fun with designs, borders, lettering etc.
About teaching the class several days in a row…I am planning to teach it as a one day workshop too!! I have thought about it and decided it might be more convenient for people. I’ll try to cover as much as possible in one day, really focused, tons of ideas with handouts to take home too. I will post it here if I get it planned!! Keep tuned!
